We do a Discover Richmond quiz every two weeks.  This week’s quiz, which we posted today, includes a question about Benedictine High School, which has been in the news this week as the private school announced plans to move to Goochland County.

Funny thing for me is that I created the questions for the quiz last week.  Just a coincidence that a school that was founded in 1911 and has been at the same location for all that time decides to move the same week that I ask a question about it in a quiz, right?

For the record, I lived two blocks from Benedictine in the mid-90s, and I can’t imagine how the traditions of the school could continue if it left the city. Neither can the multitudes that responded to this development in our Goochland blog. I’m a big fan of the excellent nearby restaurant Chiocca’s, and so are many of the Benedictine alum.  What would happen to Chiocca’s if Benedictine disappeared?  What would happen to St. Gertrude’s? That just ain’t right.
